Half Byte Loader on OFW 6.30 

Mamosuke just informed me that coder J416 started porting Half Byte Loader to firmware 6.30, based on his game exploit previously found on 6.30.

Before you get your hopes too high:

  • I haven’t tested this and I don’t know the name of the game, but I trust mamosuke (and therefore J416 as well), so I know this is real
  • This is still work in progress and might take a few weeks before it is usable
  • This relies on a game exploit, which is not a Demo. It means that people would have to buy that game, and additionally, it will most likely be patched very quick on the PSN, so interest is limited for PSP Go owners (although rumors say that a solution exist against Sony patching their games on the PSN)

To mamosuke and J416: Good luck guys, you know my email address if you need help on this. Also, please keep in mind that HBL is GPL, so if you release this, we’ll be expecting the sources as well ;)

    Jerry, your question doesn’t make much sense. The question you should ask is: “if I get a psp go, will the firmware on it be 6.20 or 6.30 ?” I believe most units sold are still 6.20 (so HBL will run on it). It’s not like Sony sold all their stock :P

    wololo i was going to.ask.if the exploit the.game was found in does it have an english version? and if its japanese how am i supposed to download it?

    @crisiscore-x-: usually an exploit only works for one version of the game (for example japanese), but the vulnerability often exists in other regions of the game, or even sequels/prequels, so the exploit needs to be adapted to other regions.
    In other words, if the exploit is revealed for a japanese game, there’s few chances that the same exploit is revealed at the same time for the US version of the game, until the hackers spent lots of time hacking all the versions…

    to buy a japanese game, you simply need to create an account on the JP PSN. The problem with the PSP is that you then have to activate/deactivate your accounts everytime you need to switch (yes, Sony, despite its size, is clueless about the word “globalization”)

    @jerry, veendog: I am not directly working on this hack. I have been contacted by the devs though, and as expected, porting HBL is not an easy task.
    When people need to know about progress, I’ll post about it on my blog. meanwhile, stay tuned, but don’t expect too much, too soon.

    i have a friend who’s expert in creating cfw and stuff i don’t get about psp like c+ programming or something like and she created a special cfw for me in my birthday which was about a week ago and now i can play iso games and i have over 250 games i wonder if i should ask her to help you guys to create a cfw for the PSPGO 6.30 for the guys who want to play iso games on the massive 16 GB storage

    by the way she really is a enius and she doesn’t give a crap about developers or sony because she used to work for sony and got fired so i think this is like a payback for sony for getting her fired

      Cool, she’ll meet my friend who is an ex CIA agent but doesn’t give a crap about the US government and can decrypt AES anytime she want. They’ll have a nice talk, and then go back to their homes in imaginationland.

    @ajmal: yes, unfortunately j416 is being stuck with various issues in his exploit. It seems more complex to port HBL, than I initially thought.

    @j0hniboi.: be sure that hackers (not necessarily me) will do everything they can to make the hack as easy as possible to access. If the EU version of the game is exploitable, a hack will be made available.

    I just seen on youtube what the new game exploit is. It’s still at the “Hello World” stage on OFW 6.30 so it’s not ready. I was surprised that the videos I seen only had several hundred views and they were upped in May. I won’t say the name but also read it wasn’t an American version but possibly a European one. I don’t know anymore than that. If something can even come out of it, it’s best NOT to name the game for exploiting sake. Plus many will buy the game and if nothing comes out if it then what a waste of your money. Unless you like the game…
